ton, current for a long time, OF fabu-
lous silver deposits in San Gabriel
canyon will soon be given a practical
test. An English company some SIX
months ago sent Henry Deity, a well
known expert, to investigate. He
made a thorough examination and re-
portedfavorably. Several claims were
purchased and $4,000 have been adj
yanced to commence a tunnel 3,OOO

work on the groupings. One OF the
| claims shows a 40-foot vein OF $50 ore
like the Con. Virginia.
